Novi 2200sl Install!!

[2007grabberGT]

I'm going to take a couple of weekends to do the install. Started yesterday with the boost-a-pump. Today was plugs and injectors. I was worried about the plugs, but A little pb blaster, carb cleaner, and patience and they came out without issue.



55,000 miles, original plugs, light carbon buildup



New injectors vs old

Good luck! I had plans of doing my novi install myself. But I lived at an apartment at the time and when I saw them call for a grinder I took it to the shop. lol.

I installed my Paxton 1200SL last winter. Took about 8 hours with no issues. Good luck with your install.

Did you buy the kit new? What is the best deal you found, if so?

Progress.....

I did buy the kit new. It's a Brenspeed kit. Their prices were competitive, but my decision of who to purchase from was based on more than just price.

I have to agree. Their prices are very good and they've been very helpful with my questions around blowers and other options.

I love Brenspeed. They have nice custom service even To Spain

After pulling the intake and taking a look at the charge motion plate setup, I just shook my head.......I need to go the CMDP route before the car Gets hungry and starts eating the butterflies!

The Vortech/Paxton blower with CMDPs should be a great setup.

Spent a little time on it tonight. Had to grind a tab off of one valve cover and cut the threaded stud off of a timing cover bolt. Cordless Dremel made quick work of it.

I see you took that alternator stud out too. I was confused at first before asking Bruceh for help on that. You going to dremel the radiator cover tab while you have everything out and ready too?

Honestly, I don't want to go that crazy with the covers. I am tempted to clean them up and paint them while I have everything apart. That's the trouble with the polished head unit, it makes everything else look like crap! Anyhow, big weekend coming up for me, should see some major progress!

Sounds good, keep up the progress.
